Excerpt from The Journal of Gas Lighting and Water Supply, Vol. 133: January to March, 1916 Provided that the foregoing provisions of this section shall not apply during the period of five years from the date of the passing of this Act, or within such longer period as the Board of Trade may by order in writing sanction, which said sanction the Board of Trade are hereby empowered to give, and the Directors may, during such period as aforesaid or such extended period, as te gards any capital required for the purposes of the undertaking during such period, create and issue such capital at such price and on such terms and conditions as they may think fit.

Among miscellaneous clauses, it is seen that the Company desire to be exempt from supplying gas where a main is of insufficient capacity. Profit sharing and stand-by clauses also appear. In connection with public lighting, the Company wish section 46 of the Act of 1869 to be amended by the insertion of the words for lighting purposes after the word consumer in the first proviso of the section.
